Default cheap third brake light
Someone try the cheap ebay third brake light?

Like this one : https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Pickup-Truck...Fb7ExU&vxp=mtr

I don’t care about the leak problem, il will remove the gasket that comes with the light and replace by something else. I just want to know if the led are bright enough and durable? And the quality of the plastic... will it broke more easily than good brand (recon, ...). I’m not sure I want to buy a recon for the test I want to make...

Thanks!

At $20 you could buy several and replace them as needed and still be ahead. Tried to look up info on CARMSKY products and couldn't find much on their electronics. Lots of keychains! Products I saw have 4 to 5 stars but very low number of reviews. I have been using this model for 2 years with no complaints. You could by 3 of those!

Nice, there was one I was looking at to replace mine. I don’t like the chrome on my fx4. This was smoked but not the recon one.

Just make sure you use a "hand screwer tool"!

How bright is the cargo light? I have LED bulbs currently but I'm not happy with the light output.

I had to laugh at the Ebay ad. These are not reverse lights unless you wire them that way. They are cargo light and stop light (3rd brake light).
